1 point gained for Arsenal, 2 lost for PSG. I'd like to believe that this puts Arsenal in a good position to win the group, but of course they'll find a way to capitulate against Basel and Ludogorets.

I'm still puzzled by the team selection. I understand playing Ospina in the CL until he carries the ball into his own net again, but there was no rotation anywhere else. Why not play Xhaka and Elneny in midfield to protect the CBs and ping long balls over the high press from PSG? Why play Alexis up front when the first 3 matches of the season showed he doesn't work there and 2 actual, real forward are available? Why have Ox suit up in anything but the Gunnersaurus outfit?

it seemed for all the world like the team for southampton was meant to rest xhaka and giroud for PSG, then neither start. it's pretty baffling.

Authorities revoked the visa 6 days ago because of his criminal conviction for assaulting a police officer, but PSG thought they could just ignore it I guess?

He's appealing the conviction so they think he should be presumed innocent until his appeal is rejected. I honestly don't know how that works.

I don't know if Atletico are scrubs from an Arsenal perspective since they are better than Arsenal.
